ST. LOUIS Aug. 90 weighing pitched beau
tiful game to-day, and the Athletics scored a
very creditable victory in consequence He was
splenddly supported by Millican, whose back
stop work and throwing to bases was one of the
best features of the game. The champions
could do nothing with Weyh1ngs delivery
while, on the other hand, King was pounded at
will. Boyle, who has caught forty-three sue
cessive games, complained of sore hand in the
fourth inning. and Latham went behind the bat.
Boyle has done great work during Bushong's
enforced absence. and deserves great credit.
Bushong will catch of the coming Balti-
more games. The features of the game were
the battery work of weighing and Milligan and
Stoveys hitting. Score:

CLEVELAND, Aug. 20-The Metropolitans
made futile attempt to play ball here day,
and the ex League pitcher Weidman and the
whole tribe were simply massacred The Cleve-
land batters pounded Weidman merclessly all
all through the game, and his field gave him no
support at all. Stricker's and Hotalings safe
hit records were remarkable, the former making
one three Dagger and three singles and the latter
three two-baggers and one single. Carroll also
made three-base hit and two singles. The

the only visitor who could handle the ash He
